Introduction
This unit provides you an understanding of the mathematical principles of photogrammetry and their application to a variety of spatial measurement tasks, particularly airborne topographic mapping, but also terrestrial methods employed in disciplines such as engineering, architecture, and archaeology. Key topics include the selection of cameras for mapping tasks, the mathematical foundations of photogrammetry, the operation of digital photogrammetric software, methods of camera calibration, and adjustment theory for large photogrammetric projects. The unit also provides knowledge and skills in flight planning for aerial photography and airborne laser scanning. This unit is offered at the graduate level.
